I had almost the same experience as the author but for my sex drive, yay medication side effects. It is such a weird feeling to just never be horny / never lust. I didn’t miss it at all, hell I couldn’t miss it because I didn’t even notice it was gone. For me it really was that my sex drive was entirely a fiction made up by my lizard brain. Sex was physically just as pleasurable but just like water thirst makes it hit completely different. By comparison other things brought me a lot more joy and all the brain space occupied by that desire was free.
So to the author’s point you can absolutely cure lust and I think in an objective sense doing so makes your life better, at least on paper. I really can’t decide if I’m happier with or without it.
